Save Energy with the Super Solar Shower EcoLifestyle
Posted Jun 18, 2008 by Trish Smith Comments [1]

Did you ever think that you could be in the middle of the woods after a full day of hiking and enjoying the natural wonders of the environment, and then have the ability to take a hot shower?

Now you can with the Super Solar Shower from outdoor equipment company Gelert.

How does it work?

What happens is the black vinyl bag, which holds up to 20 L of water, is heated up by the sun’s rays, providing a nice warm shower.

It comes with a shower head, a flow control and a cord, which allows you to hang it on a tree branch or whatever else is around.

Pretty cool invention.

Right now it’s only available in the UK, so we hope that it makes its way to the U.S. soon so we can start cutting down on our energy consumption.

The solar shower would also be a great product for underdeveloped countries that may not have access to real running showers.

Thank you for pointing out to me the difference between this one and the one offered by Real Goods which we did not care for, another improvement, it is black and will absorb the sun's heat far better than the smaller one offered by Real Goods, nan
